You dive the Optima.. Post here..

Support.
When I was researching various models, I attempted to contact
the manufactuer, the distributors, trying to locate respective instructors,
and receiving ZERO response from most and responses from instructors months later,
I took this as a sign, being as frustrated as I was. Then one day after work and spending
the day looking for more rebreather options
I walked into a dive shop that evening and was asked, "Do you want a rebreather?"
My eyes popped out of my head thinking, WOW, I never said a word to this shop and here
they are asking me if I want a rebreather.
After the experiences of the past months and having Dive-Rite just an hour away
(visiting the company in Lake City, the people have always been great), having an instructor
in the local area, everything added up to the rite decision. I do not regret it and I love the unit.
So when looking, functionality is important, but when something breaks, how easy is it to get support.
The unit uses all standard DR eqquipment. If there is an DR rep near by, you could possibly be diving
the unit that day, or at least the next.

Good luck on your RB hunting..

Hey Seafox,

Hey lars2923, sorry about the lengthy delay in getting back to you.
Yes it is the same Matt! A great instructor and a great human being.
It's been a very busy teaching year. I am just getting a break now.
I am not complaining, busy is good.
Just haven't had time to get on the boards.
I am home until November.
Going to Truk Lagoon on a rebreather trip and then teaching in Florida for a few months.
Take care,

Cornel
